Basically the same review as Resident Evil 2. Good remake but not as good as Resident Evil 2. This game is the forth best game out of the Resident Evils. Better graphics than the original. No arranged game in this one but on easy it is sorta like the arranged mode in Resident Evil 2. Except in Resident Evil 3 you get an A.R., Magnum, Shotgun, Combat Knife, the bullet maker thing, rounds for each g... read more

Description:The final installment of the Resident Evil series for the Playstation, Resident Evil 3 takes place during the events of Resident Evil 2.

As Jill "master of unlocking" Valentine (one of the two main protagonists of the original Resident Evil), you must find a way out of the zombie-infested remains of the city alive. Along the way, you'll interact with and receive help from three heavily armed Umbrella mercenaries who have also become stranded in Raccoon City thanks to the incompetance of their employer. Standing in the way of your group's last escape are a horde of flesh-eating zombified citizens, homicidal mutants, and a relentless killing machine known only as Nemesis who is determined to hunt down and kill the survivors of the original Resident Evil, including Jill.

Compared to Resident Evil 2, the amount of available ammunition and healing items has been significantly decreased, making the game more difficult. The variety of zombie citizens has also been made more diverse.... (more)(less)
